March Low Content Thread.
I've been on super mega life and poker tilt as of lately.
Last couple of days were a kick in the teeth. I've been playing horrendously and I know it. http://i18.tinypic.com/2j4x1xk.jpg |

Re: March Low Content Thread.
Shabam, I feel your pain.
I have never run that bad in poker, but I have had three losing streaks in video poker that were a lot bigger than that, i.e., more than $50K. It really sucks losing amounts of money that many people would consider a good year's income. I get really jealous of my friends who are on winning streaks while I am pissing away benjamins by the handful. However, I usually don't have to blame myself. It's just bad luck when you lose in VP while if you only play games where you have the best of it. In real poker, it is easy to convince yourself that you are at least EV-neutral when you are really a big money dog. I had my worst poker session last weekend. It started out with some bad beats, but ended up with some tilty play and more river suckouts and losses on what were clearly marginal calls or bets. I was really suprised how bad I played toward the end of the session. I hope I can get back to my A game the next time out, and I can see that you recognize that you need to get yourself off tilt, too. The first step is admitting the problem. Cheers, Effen |
Re: March Low Content Thread.
Serious question ... how do you ever have the "best of it" in video poker? I know there is some material out saying that you can win playing VP, but I don't understand how it's any different than a slot machine. Thanks in advance for responding.

[/ QUOTE ] There are some video poker machines that are programmed like slot machines (predetermined outcomes), but these types of machines are not legal in NV and NJ. Therefore, every paytable has an associated optimal strategy and optimal EV for each hand. You can even create strategies for new games automatically: http://www.zamzone.com/TomSki/VPSM.asp As the paytable improves, the EV has to improve. If the paytable is good enough, the house edge eventually goes negative. Video poker games in AC and NV typically have optimal returns of 92% to (rarely) 101% for fixed paytables. The first thing to look for is games with good paytables and cashback. Cashback can range from near zero to 4% in extreme cases. Second, some games have multiple modes with different returns which are on average favorable to the house. These games can be wonged (played only when in favorable modes, only). My favorite wonging game is in a +2.5% mode 6% of the time. Finally, the returns on progressives can be arbitrarily high. A 4000-coin Royal flush is worth 2% expected return on a jacks or better game. If the progressive payout is 12000 coins, this adds about 4% to the return. My wife and I once played a progressive which had a return of 107% when we started and rose to 113% by the time she hit the progressive. At the end, we we had an edge of $1300 per hour. The frequency of such progressive opportunities is exponentially relate to the meter advance rate. The casino has since cut the meter rate on that progressive. We used to have an opportunity to play that progressive about once a weeek with a positive EV. We have not had an opportunity to play it in the 14 months since the meter rate was cut. VP opportunities are drying up fast in AC. I used to play in 10 different AC casinos on a regular basis. Now, only 3 casinos have good VP plays. There are still plenty of breakeven plays (with cashback) that you might consider. If you add comps to a breakeven game, you can actually come out ahead. I.e., you can still find 9/6 Jacks or better (99.54% return) with 0.4% cashback and maybe 0.5% comp rate in AC. Effen |

[/ QUOTE ] Video Poker machines that are true video poker use a random number generator to determine the order of the deck. Thus, you know the odds of hitting each hand, since they correspond to the real-life odds. When the total payouts exceed the odds against making a paying hand (and this is usually a function of the progressive jackpot growing very large), the machine is profitable if you play perfect strategy. So, in practice, you're playing to hit the progressive, and all of the play in between is waiting to hit a royal. Also, some "video poker" machines are disguised slot machines, with payouts governed in the same way as slots. These are obviously unbeatable through legal means. |

Thanks, bbart.
There's easily over 150 tourneys I've played since winter in all different types of games. For a while there I was making at least 3 final tables a week. Playing 1 to two tourneys a night 3-4 days a week. I didn't list any of my cashes for Holdem, 7stud, or Omaha Hi. I don't know, I guess I just figured the people of this forum would be more interested in the games with a low side. Strangely enough I don't think I've played one Stud8 tourney.... Weird. I'll have to get on that. |

Re: March Low Content Thread.
did he misread his hand a straight flush?... I've done that...
|
Re: March Low Content Thread.
I don't think so. SB in this hand has been playing a pretty aberrant preflop game (potting preflop with 5d 3h Ts 7c for example), and very aggro postflop though willing to fold when played back at. MP has been playing a fairly straightforward game as far as I can tell, raising preflop with strong low hands and AAxx. My reasoning as Hero in this hand was that MP did not have AAxx (else he would have 3-bet preflop) and that he must have a low-type hand, so his flop bet was much more likely to be a club flush draw than something like two pair. I was half-right; he was betting the flush draw but he had actually raised preflop with a non-AA high hand (first time I'd seen him do that).
As for SB, against most players I'd worry about some AAxx hand (who reraises from the SB with anything else?), but this guy was pretty weird preflop so I gave him credit for four cards (esp. since I figured two aces to be accounted for). I had expected him to fold to MP's flop bet and wasn't feeling good when he reraised, but given his previous aggression and weird play I just couldn't figure that I didn't have odds to call, since he was IMO about equally likely to have nothing, a draw, or a hand that was actually ahead of mine. As it turned out he had essentially nothing, which makes his play even weirder inasfar as bluffing me out of the hand would normally have gotten him HU against a hand that beat him. After the fact, I have to consider the possibility that he was a wizard of hand reading and had concluded that MP had nothing but a flush draw *and* that I had a pair of kings, so that I might give him credit for AA and fold, which would clean up his high outs against MP. Unfortunately for him, people adjust when you're a maniac, and I didn't get out of his way. |
Re: March Low Content Thread.
What's everyone's longest breakeven stretch in PL? Cuz I'm aobut sick of being 3-bet by middle set 3 stacks deep when Im holding the nut flush, nut straight, top set and getting out drawn (yes I have had people hit quads on me 3 times in the last 4500 hands).
I hate poker. Mine is currently 23,000. |
Re: March Low Content Thread.
Well, I'm still down lifetime playing poker (lost $1200 when I first started, been winning for the past year at microlimits but still haven't made it all back). So my whole poker history (more than 100K? hands) is (less than) a breakeven stretch.

Re: Moran\'s Anonymous
Well, the less-than-pot bet preflop and the turn call are bad. I actually don't hate the smallish flop bet - it's sized so that you can jam on the turn if a brick falls (to force out remaining high draws), while still leaving you alive to fold if a 2, 5, or club comes on the turn. Of course this is assuming you can find the fold button on the turn; if you can't then jamming the flop makes a lot more sense. But you already knew that :-)

Re: March Low Content Thread.
Here is the status of my quest to turn $.78 in to a small O/8 bankroll on Stars. I think I am running really good.

Re: March Low Content Thread.
My AA23s got cracked TWICE today when I flopped A set of aces and the nut low Twice! No quartering, just flat out someone called with 45jTo before the flop and on the flop against a pot sized raise both times and hit his OUT card when I didn't hit any more of mine. I'm not having a good march

Re: Moran\'s Anonymous
Hi, My name is Frank, and I'm still a Moran.
I knew the player in question was limping some atrocious hands, but I misjudged the level of atrocity. The 2nd nut low draw kept me around, but I put Villain on A25 and felt I had the better boat. D'oh. I checked the leader board for the 9:30 tourney an hour later, and curiously enough, Villain didn't work any magic with my chips, but instead got knocked out. Go figure.
